That's simple; we have always known how

Lies in its native patch
A tempting object, I'll be bound
The small boys eye to catch.

To swim in, you'll agree.

Each day doth larger grow,
And every hour more temptingiy
Its ripening cheeks do show.

And sorely tried is he;
With such temptations on each side

Publication Note.

The Century for September is an es-
pecially interesting number, having
both holiday and political flavor in
each of which respects it makes strong
appeal to current interests. The second
part of "Snubbin' Through jersey
narrating an unique summers excur-
sion in canal boat, is even more roll
licking than that already published.
The constitutional centennial is taken
note of by an article on the "Framers
and Framing of the Constitution -

cial interest-that of his nomination
and election-and otherwise the Sep
tember Century is replete with excel

ed them. Miss Leidel lay across the bed
with stab through the heart. Her body
was burned horribly. Marks upon the
body show terrible struggle of the vic
tim, and indications pointed to outrage.
A desperate shooting affray took place
Sunday night at Holbrook, Ariz., in which
Andy Cooper and his half brother, Samuel
Blcvins, were killed by Sheriff Owens,
and John Blevins and Nose B. Roberts
wounded, the former slightly, the latter
mortally. The men killed and wounded
have been members of desperate gang
of cattle thieves, who have been terror
to the law-abiding citizens of Yavapoi
and Apache county, and openly boasted
that the officers were afraid to arrest them.
They were lately engaged IN the cattle
war at Tonic Basin, in which several lives
were lost. Sheriff Owens made the kill
ing single handed and was exonerated by
the coroner's jury for so doing.
A tornado struck Sylvania village, ten
miles north of Toledo, Ohio, Wednesday,
which did many thousand dollars worth
of damage. A Toledo special says: One
farmer had fifty acres of fine timber all
blown down. The brick school house at
Niche was destroyed. The track of the
tornado was south by east. From here
along the line of the Toledo & Ohio Cen
trail road the track of the storm can be
followed as far as the eye can reach. 1t
is from one to two hundred yards wide.
No fences or tall trees are standing on its
track. Corn is scattered and houses and
barns unroofed for miles. At Waterville
and other villages to the southward there
is much injury done.

Another Park Branch.

Madisonian: Capt. Chas Rogers in
charge of the railroad surveying corps,
has completed his surveys over the
Madison divide, and has gone with his
company to the National Park, whence
they will run line down Camas creek
to the Utah & Northern railway
in the neighborhood Of Beaver
canyon. Some of the grades over
the divide are comparatively easy, and
none present any insuperable obstacles
to railway construction. 1t is more
than likely that, when the company
builds the National Park extension, it
will take into consideration the super
ior advantages which this route pre-
sents in the way of business for the
road, and choose one Of the routes
which have been surveyed in this
neighborhood. While the Camas creek
line may have the advantage in short
ness of distance to the Park, there is
absolutely nothing of traffic to be de-
pended upon to maintain the road, eX-
cept that of the Park proper, and it is
not to be supposed that this alone will
be an inducement to build that way.
The chances are largely in favor of the
road being built via the Ruby and Madi-
son valleys,
